It is a seal in my book, after all it seals the oil in the filter... I guess you can consider it a gasket if you want.

But yea you always want to use some old oil or even new oil to lube the filter if it doesn't come pre-lubed. The Napa Wix filters do not come pre-lubed... But the Mitsubishi filters do.
